photon looks good, Are there any other ui shells?
Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit?
otter@lemmy.ca 9 months agoTo those downvoting: save the downvotes for comments that aren’t productive, this is a pretty reasonable answer
The comment also highlights this same point. The different UI’s make it so that everyone can have an experience that they enjoy, mobile and web.
For example, we have these:
- Uptime history at status.lemmy.ca
- Mlmym interface at old.lemmy.ca
- Voyager interface at voyager.lemmy.ca
- Photon interface at photon.lemmy.ca
- Alexandrite interface at alex.lemmy.ca

Those are the only ones I know about
There’s also this one but I don’t think any instances are running it

The topic specifically asks for features that are NOT availible for reddit.

Does reddit have user editable front ends you can host yourself?
theKalash@feddit.ch 9 months ago
Yes.

Ooh cool.

Apparently a lot of stuff does. I know what I’m spending my weekend looking into.
ZeroCool@feddit.ch 9 months ago
Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

But they are …
Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 9 months ago
Can you mention one then?

It was borderline, but I found it to still be true
People made their own frontends, which could then hosted officially by the instance with the resources to go with it.
That doesn’t happen with Reddit, where the alternative frontends are run separately and the usefulness varies
